Healthy Airport Ordinance (HCAO Amendment)
On November 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Healthy Airport Ordinance, which amends the Health Care Accountability Ordinance for specified workers at the San Francisco International Airport. Covered employers must comply with the ordinance's requirements on its operative date, March 21, 2021.
Employers at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) are required to provide employees covered by SFO’s Quality Standards Program with family health insurance that meets the compliance requirements at no cost to the employee or pay $9.50 per hour (up to $380 per week) on behalf of the employee to the City Option Program. Employers may choose which option they use to comply. For more details on these two options, please review the Frequently Asked Questions, posted below.
For questions regarding health plan requirements, contact Patrick Chang at the Department of Public Health at patrick.chang@sfdph.org or (415) 554-2925. To learn more about contributing to the City Option Program, visit www.sfcityoption.org or contact SF City Option Program Management at employerservices@sfcityoption.org or (415) 615-4492. Please mention that you are an San Francisco International Airport (SFO) employer or employee.
